I haven’t yet mentioned that not only did I come first with a PR BUT my friend [and mommy of Miles’s best friend] came in 2nd with a PR also!! YAY for running mommies!!!

Thank you for everyone who has been voting today!! I’ve moved into fourth place in Fitness Magazines Best Running Blog. I STILL need about a 230498230498 more votes – so if you have 2 minutes I’d REALLY REALLY LOVE YOU FOREVER if you voted for me!

I’m wearing an old t-shirt I didn’t care about! I have a short sleeve underneath it as well. I slit the top and the bottom so I can literally rip off the shirt right before the start or even during the first couple of miles. Whenever I have a shirt/sweatshirt/etc I don’t like I throw it into a bin labelled as throw away clothes and I use them to keep warm before races!

What do they do with throw away clothes? Are they donated to charity? If so, I think that’s awesome. Then I wouldn’t mind doing that so much. But I’ve never seen anything like that here in Europe. @ Mile Posts By Dorothy Beal:
